Jude Law Welcomes a Daughter

The actor and his ex Catherine Harding have welcomed a baby girl, his rep confirms to PEOPLE.

“I can confirm the arrival of Jude Law and Catherine Harding’s daughter,” Law’s rep said in a statement Tuesday. “Both are delighted and continue to ask that their privacy and that of their child be respected.”

Law, 42, who has three children with ex-wife Sadie Frost (sons Rafferty, 18, and Rudy, 12, and daughter Iris, 14) and another daughter, Sophia, 5, with model Samantha Burke, confirmed that he was expecting a fifth child (his first with the singer-songwriter) in October.

“Whilst they are no longer in a relationship, they are both wholeheartedly committed to raising their child,” the actor’s rep said in a statement at the time.

I would say congrats, but I think get a vasectomy is more appropriate.

Dude, you should have figured out what causes that by now. Did no one have “the talk” with you?

why do men feel the need to spread their seed around? and why do women knowingly set themselves up knowing the guy’s baggage and history. with all of this unprotected sex, isn’t anyone afraid of AIDS anymore? why would you knowingly have a child with someone you feel you do not want to spend your life with? “I don’t want to be with you anymore, but let’s have a child for the hell of it”

I honestly think Jude should know by now how babies are made, especially after his daughter Sophia was born. Now another child with another ‘brief’ girlfriend. I am sure Jude is a nice guy in real life but as a woman, I would absolutely not date him- 5 kids with 3 different women, and only married once? You have to wonder if he is this reckless with other situations. And does he know what HSV, HPV, HIV, etc are?? Serious question folks.

Sienna Miller is thanking her lucky stars right now that se got away from him when she did…

Wow, how many “baby mamas” is this now? He’s competing with the Duggars, and singers/ rappers now?

Really? “Wholeheartedly committed to raising the child?” How? I’m sick of these articles ending with a declaration that these men are in some way committed to raising their kids. You know what makes a good father? Living with your kids. Being there every single day. Getting thrown up on in the middle of the night when they are sick. Knowing when and what to feed them. Knowing them in the intimate way that comes with daily parenting. It’s not through visits. Not through buying things. Through daily effort and care. There is simply no way Jude Law is raising this child. He’s visiting this child. I’m not saying he’s not a loving person. Im not saying he doesn’t love his kids. I’m just saying he’s not a great father. Because GREAT fathers are there every day. Can we please stop diminishing the efforts of the truly great fathers out there by pretending guys like this make the grade.

Jude- next time someone wants to “spend time” with you- put a condom on first.

He’s such a piece of work who needs to keep it in his pants. Yeah, he’s committed to raising the child. He needs committed. There’s no way he’ll be a true dad to this baby. Drop some money, an occasional visit with a few gifts. He needs to keep it in his pants or get a vasectomy. The women need to learn a bit about birth control also, unless they’re out their for 15 seconds of fame and a few bucks!

Pahhhahahahah. “wholeheartedly committed” Please. How committed can you be when you have to skate off to parent (aka “visitation time”) the other four kids by other women whom you’ve also bred with. He’s gross. Any woman that beds this dude now just has no respect for herself. Ga-ross. I heart the idea that this dude actually considers himself a “parent” – uhhhh no. You are a donor and a paycheck my friend. A parent is someone who actually knows their kid, not just visits and pays for their crap.

Way to be judgemental idiots. How many of you are divorced or have children from two fathers? Be happy for him. Unlike the millions of families who have children they cannot afford, he has the money to provide and is probably a great father!

Tracy… I agree with you 100%

It’s seems so weird that JL and Hugh Grant have children with women that are under the strangest circumstances.

@Becky Holland- you said it! This needs to stop being heralded as something good, it’s nothing but irresponsible .

@ Becky Holland

You said exactly what I was about to say. Totally nailed it. How can he be spending enough time with these kids when he is busy filming movies in different locations and doesn’t even reside where the children live? They are going to go through life with an absentee father who flits in and out of their lives and buys their love with money. It’s sad. Being a father is about being there as much as possible. It’s a lifestyle. It’s every day. It’s not every other month or every holiday. It’s literally EVERY DAY. And I know children of divorce have it rough but a lot of them do have reasonable weekly time with their fathers if they are living with mom. This guy just knocks up girlfriends and moves on to the next. How can he possibly be spending time with them daily or even weekly?? It’s sad that people act so irresponsibly. If you want to lead a life of fun and frivolity and not wear protection on top of being in your 40’s with multiple other kids…get a vasectomy. It’s not a big deal.

Most are slamming him but what about the women? Maybe they said they were on birth control and lied? Maybe he was upset about it at first? Who knows… but can you imagine holidays with this family? 3 women and 5 kids? Yikes!!! He’s a stud though!!

Fathers are worthy of praise (congratulations), sperm donors not so much.

I used to like this guy and Hugh Grant . There personal lives are so screwed up. I can see one mistake but a couple, There are very few good fathers in this world. It is sad for these kids.Money does not buy a dad or mom. love and caring make a parent.

I wonder how Rafferty feels about his fathers behavior.

MHR

Can’t anyone just congratulate the guy on a new baby? Still, 5 kids with 3 women is a bit much.

Wishing both Jude Law and Catherine Harding all the best and hearty congratulations on the birth of their daughter. What they do in their private life is no more my business than mine is theirs. So don’t bother to respond to this comment because, and I’m pretty sure about this, there but for the Grace of God could go most of you who commented so mean.

Hey Jude…..they invented contraceptives! You can have babies when you’re really sure of a relationship and ready. Head out to your nearest Pharm and get a consult……..idiot.
